Preview stage 3. From the 22nd to the 25th of February the Spanish peloton takes on O Gran Camiño. Jonas Vingegaard headlines the race that features days for the climbers to test their early-season form.
Stage 3 features several climbs. The whole day is close to the border with Portugal, and features a few small climbs. A day for the puncheurs perhaps, it is very open. A final climb of 4.5 kilometers at 5.7% summits with 20 kilometers to go. There are no flat roads from there onwards though, with a few small climbs and a large descent taking the riders into Castelo de Ribadavia.
Stage 3: Xinzo de Limia - Castelo de Ribadavia, 173.6 kilometers
